It was a little more than two years ago when Rabbi Dr. Immanual Schochet, a world renowned expert in Chassidism and Kabbalah and author of more than 30 books, was diagnosed with a dreaded illness.
Notwithstanding the medical prognosis, Rabbi Schochet often reiterated the point that a doctor is only given license to heal, not to condemn.
Boruch Hashem against the odds he is still fighting on, COLlive was told.
His son, UK based Rabbi Yitzchok Schochet said, “I have no doubt that a combination of my father’s compelling emunah and the tefillois of so many are having a dramatic impact.”
Rabbi Immanual Schochet, who is also a mentor to countless shluchim around the world, has since celebrated his fiftieth wedding anniversary, the first wedding of a grandson, and later this week (chof ches Av) will be celebrating his 77th birthday.
However the family has stressed that matters are now at a more challenging stage and that extra tefillois are required.
“We have every confidence the Airbesheter will continue to look after him but all added tefillois would be very much appreciated. Please daven for Yakov Emonuel ben Sarah Sasha (la’arichas yomim v’shonim toivois).”
Refuah Sheleima zaidy! we love you

What a Holy Tzaddik!
Please Hashem, give him a refuah Sheleimah mamash now!
to us and to the many many individuals who attended his talks at our Chabad House for Shabbatons and for a highly memorable Shavuos about 3 years ago. That Shavuos, when we had the pleasure of hosting Rabbi Schochet and his Rebbetzin, was a Gan Eden of a yom tov and we simply didn’t want the Schochets to leave. As shuchim and chassidim, every moment spent in their company was a learning experience for us that continues to guide us even now. We wish both Rabbi and Rebbetzin Schochet gezunt and arichus yomim and we will continue to daven for… Read more »

Our entire Kehillah is davening for a Refuah Shilaimah for this very special Chosid and dear friend of our community. Rabbi Immanuel Schochet has inspired hundreds in the Conejo Valley who would turn out for the many lectures, Shabbatons and seminars he led for us over the years. He has been a guide and mashpia for so many of us Shluchim and Shluchos. Let us each ask our congregations to say a Kapital Ayin Ches this Thursday for Yakov Imanuel ben Sarah Sasha for Arichos Yomim and a miraculous recovery.
Rabbi Moshe Bryski
Chabad of the Conejo
All good wishes for a Refuah Shlayma.
and much nachas from your chidlren in London, Utah, and Delaware!
and wishing you only gezunt and much nachas from your children and grandchildren ka”h. The world needs Rabbi Shochet and his inspiration. The Airbershter knows that!
I used to be a member of Edinburgh and then made Aliyah to the Old City, I must admit it is very holy here and Israel is the place to be, but, from where Rabbi Schochet sits and presides as Rov over his kehila, I know that he has made his shul a mikdash m’at, its own Beis HaMikdash as the Rebbe wanted… so I wishing him long long healthy life, everything should go easy in health and may Edinburgh join me one day in Yerushalayim with Moshiach.

It is long but I will say it in Rabbi Shochet zechus on Thursday which is his birthday IYH.
We are adding more tefillos and mitzvos and dedicating our chavrusa in behalf of Rabbi’s recovery and will continue until we hear complete healing. Refuah Shelaimah Rabbi.
I heard him a few years ago at JLI. I have since heard his son these last few years. It is inspiring to see a ‘like father like son’ team like that. I am looking forward to seeing them together by next years retreat. That would be amazing!
I was wondering how he was doing. I am encouraged by this article. He is a remarkable man and deserves Hashem’s constant protection.
We have been davening for him and we will continue to do so. He inspired us along with so many more. May he be blessed with a full recovery and a long life.
BH. stands for – from right to left – HAPPY BIRTHDAY, and from left to right – BE HEALTHY. The word “Brocho” begins with “B” and ends with “H”, telling us, that if you want a brocho, keep on saying and writing “BH” – Boruch Hashem.
Moshiach now!
